Golf Games to Play With Friends Without Meeting Up
Everyone's schedule is different, and not everyone lives near a course. Online golf lets you keep the friendly competition going without the logistics. Here are formats that work well with a game like Mashy, where friends compare scores on the same hole.
1. The one-hole showdown
Everyone plays the same hole once. Lowest score wins. It takes two minutes and works in any group chat.
2. The nine-hole season
Play all nine holes over a week and total the scores. Post your progress in the chat after each hole to keep the tension up.
3. Beat the boss
One person sets a score on a hole. Everyone else tries to beat it. The winner sets the next target.
4. The redemption round
Lost the last challenge? Replay the hole and try to improve. Agree in advance whether your best or your latest score counts.
5. The tiebreaker
If two people share a score, pick a new hole and play it off. The leaderboard shows ties clearly, so there's no argument about who's level.
How to set up any of these
- Play a hole and save your score with your email.
- Tap Invite to get your link.
- Send it to your friends.
- Check the leaderboard as scores come in.
